Imagine you are participating in a discussion where an opinion is expressed that contradicts your beliefs. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I tell myself that it’s just an opinion, not a fact, and I keep listening. I will begin to formulate an argument that I could use to refute it. I feel the need to intervene immediately and show that he is wrong. I will think about what could lead that person to such an opinion. I will start to question my own position.

How do you envision an ideally led group discussion?

Select an answer:

Everyone has the same space to express themselves. The discussion is led by someone experienced who keeps it within a clear framework. The discussion is lively, full of challenges and confrontations. Meaningful quiet reflection is just as important as speaking. It is important to arrive at a specific outcome in the end.

In the group, someone often interrupts others. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I'll wait to see if the group resolves it on their own. I will point out this formula with a hint or a question. I will focus on the person who was interrupted and give them space again. I dislike discomfort, but I would rather not say anything. I consider it a natural course of dynamics.

When you have to lead a discussion on an unknown topic, what motivates you the most?

Select an answer:

Curiosity about what I can learn from others. The possibility to connect the topic with something I already know. The potential to influence the group's perspective. The feeling that I can express myself without judgment. The challenge of maintaining the group's attention and energy.

How do you cope with the fact that your opinion was rejected?

Select an answer:

I perceive it as an opportunity to broaden my perspective. I'm trying to find a way to phrase it better. I feel like withdrawing and not speaking anymore. I'm looking for a mistake in myself – where did I not catch that. Rejection motivates me to defend my position more strongly.

What kind of environment do you think truly supports deep discussion?

Select an answer:

Quiet, focused, and respectful. Full of questions, not answers. Without hierarchy, everyone has the same weight. In which everything is recorded and visualized. Where the emphasis is placed on personal experience.

During the discussion, someone shares a highly emotional perspective. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I perceive this as an important moment that should be respected. I acknowledge his emotion, but I will bring the topic back to the facts. I will focus on what he really wants to tell me. I'm trying to lighten the topic quickly. I avoid it, I don't feel comfortable.

How do you work with a group where everyone is trying to push their opinion?

Select an answer:

I give space to those who speak less. I am creating a common framework where opinions can be compared. I'm asking: what could connect us? I will let the discussion go through chaos until it naturally settles. I am guiding the discussion towards a common goal.

When you feel that something doesn't make sense, what do you do?

Select an answer:

I ask right away so I can understand it. I observe whether it bothers others as well. I am trying to figure it out myself. I take it as an opportunity to move the discussion in a different direction. Sometimes I just withdraw and wait to see where it leads.
